That`s A Future!

LIBERTYVILLE — Recently, I noticed a textbook illustration labeled ``21st Century.`` It showed young people clad in graduation gowns marching to the future-the future being a city of sleek, metallic buildings with spacecraft soaring around among the clouds. No trees. No people.

As we approach the final decade of the century, maybe we can improve this image of the future by filling in some earthly delights. Like juicy red apples without Alar, healthy people breathing fresh air, and sparkling clear oceans and streams.
